A second photo showed baby Havoc wide awake in her hospital bassinet just minutes after delivery. Arizmendi appeared amused by her daughter's alert expression, writing that the baby was already "so alert and excited about life" only 15 minutes after being born.

She also playfully addressed the child directly in the caption, adding, "Also hello girl baby Rory." The couple confirmed their daughter's full name as Havoc Moon Alva Culkin.

The Couple Shared Their Pregnancy News Earlier This Year

Arizmendi first revealed her pregnancy in January with a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on the emotional state of the world and her excitement about becoming a mother.

"My feed (and brain) has been consumed with such negativity and pain in the world that I thought I'd bring some light by announcing how ridiculously excited we are to be living in Havoc's world in a few months," she wrote at the time.

"We love her. She rules us already."
